About Tanya
Tanya Baker is a licensed mental health counselor with 22 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem challenges. She works with adults who feel stuck at work, overwhelmed by life changes, or unsure how to move forward. Tanya writes in a direct, supportive way and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions.
In sessions she listens to what matters most and helps clients name the patterns that keep them feeling stuck.
Background and approach
She uses straightforward tools to build coping skills for panic attacks, low mood, and workplace strain. Conversations also cover issues like guilt, control struggles, isolation, and questions about life purpose. Tanya has specific experience supporting people with post-traumatic stress, veterans and armed forces issues, and mood disorders.
She also helps people work through sexuality questions, women's issues, and relationship themes like abandonment and impulsivity. Her approach balances short-term problem solving with attention to longer patterns that shape behavior. Clients can expect clear suggestions and assignments that fit daily life.
Sessions aim to make emotional reactions easier to understand and manage. Tanya encourages small, sustainable changes rather than big overnight fixes. She offers care from Indiana and conducts sessions in English.
International clients are accepted. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on therapist availability.
Evidence-based approaches for online care
Tanya uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anxiety and life transitions. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing small experiments to change them; this helps with panic symptoms, worry, and low mood by creating new, healthier routines. Another approach centers on learning coping skills for intense emotions and stress, teaching paced breathing, grounding exercises, and step-by-step strategies to reduce impulsive reactions and overwhelm.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about your goals, what has and hasn’t worked, and how you prefer to work. Together you’ll try methods that fit your needs and adjust the plan as progress and new challenges arise.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when you want that connection. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or screen time is limited. Live chat or text messaging work for shorter check-ins, quick skills practice, or ongoing support between sessions. These formats help fit therapy into busy schedules and different lifestyles.
